Champions League:
Qarabag dates set

The Champions League last 16 play-off draw paired Newcastle with reigning Azerbaijan League champions Qarabag FK, who play in the Azerbaijan capital Baku.

The away leg is played first on Wednesday 18th February, with the return at SJP on Tuesday 24th February. United's seeded status ensured home advantage in the second leg.

Confirmed match dates:


Away: Wed 18.02.2026 @ 5.45pm GMT / 9.45pm local

(Home ticket details awaited)

Venue for the tie is the 31,000 capacity Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium, a 5,000 mile round trip from Tyneside.

Fantastically, the ground is named in honour of the "Russian linesman" from the 1966 World Cup Final.

Four League Phase games there this season saw Qarabag defeat Copenhagen and Bayer Leverkusen, draw with Chelsea and losing to Ajax.

United's hectic February fixture list reads as follows:

Wed 04.02.2026 Manchester City (a) 8pm (CC)
Sat 07.02.2026 Brentford (h) 5.30pm (PL)
Tue 10.02.2026 Spurs (a) 7.30pm (PL)

Wed 18.02.2026 Qarabag (a) 5.45pm (CL)
Sat 21.02.2026 Manchester City (a) 8pm* (PL)
Tue 24.02.2026 Qarabag (h) 8pm (CL)
Sat 28.02.2026 Everton (h) 3pm (PL)
 
* Subject to final confirmation, Newcastle's Premier League visit to Manchester City moves to an 8pm KO rather than 12.30pm as advertised. That's because our play-off first leg is away from home on the preceding Wednesday. 

PS: The winner of United's play-off will face either Barcelona or Chelsea in the round of 16.

Match report

Premier League:
Liverpool (a)

Following their midweek visit to Paris, Newcastle return to Premier League action when they face Liverpool at the ungodly hour of 8pm on Saturday, live on TNT Sports.

The first meeting of the two sides this season ended in a 3-2 victory for the Reds at Gallowgate, the winning goal coming in the tenth minute of second half added time.

The Magpies have failed to win any of their 16 Premier League meetings with Liverpool since a 2-0 home success during December 2015.

Team:
Tino Livramento, Fabian Schar, Joelinton, Jamaal Lascelles and Emil Krafth are all unavailable, with Bruno Guimaraes doubtful.

LFC: Conor Bradley, Joe Gomez, Ibraham Konate, Giovanni Leoni and Jeremie Frimpong are injured. That Swedish bloke they paid fortunes for is still out.

The Reds are winless in all five of their Premier League games in 2026 since a 2-1 home success against Wolves in late December.

Four successive draws were then followed by a 2-3 loss at Bournemouth last time out.

Ahead of our meeting, Arne Slot's side beat Qarabag 6-0 at home in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Referee: Simon Hooper - the Wiltshire whistler returns for only his second Toon appointment of the season, having taken charge of our 2-3 home loss to Liverpool.

ST holders have 24 hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to buy.


Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.

The purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above that point division get a couple of hours head start.

Note that emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase window opens - if you think you qualify because of your points total, just log on and complete your purchase regardless. 

Tickets not bought by successful applicants within 48 hours are offered to unsuccessful applicants with the next highest loyalty points total. NUFC contact them directly.

Friends and family groups remain, travel groups and away season tickets are gone.

2025/26 PL away tickets remain at £30.

On This Day in History
30th January


Born Or Died:

1970 Alan Lamb born, Gateshead.
(1991)

Striker who starred for Durham Schoolboys but opted to join Nottingham Forest instead of accepting an offer from Newcastle.

Loaned out to Hereford United without making it into the first team at the City Ground, Lamb left Forest in favour of Hartlepool United in 1989.

By 1991 though he'd drifted into non-league football and was playing for Brandon United when the Magpies offered him a trial.

Lamb made eight reserve appearances and scored twice, his debut coming away at Manchester City when he played alongside fellow Magpies hopeful Justin Fashanu.

However, no contract offer came and Lamb signed for Gateshead, appearing for them in two spells sandwiching a stint playing in New Zealand for North Shore United, Mount Maunganui and Kawerau.

Returning to New Zealand, Lamb settled in the town of Taupo on the North Island and turned out for local side Taupo AFC.

1994 Dennis Knight born, Newcastle. (2010-13)

A prolific scorer at junior level for the Walbottle club, Dennis made his U18 debut against Nottingham Forest during March 2010, whilst still a schoolboy.

Joining United's Academy the same summer, he soon sampled reserve team football as a substitute in a pre-season friendly to non-league side Gateshead.  

And just days before his 17th birthday, Knight made his bow at SJP in an FA Youth Cup win over Grimsby Town - in midfield.

Marking his competitive reserve debut with a goal against Bedlington Terriers in the Senior Cup, he also scored a fine solo effort at SJP against Watford in an FA Youth Cup tie.

After eight outings for the reserve side in the 2012/13 season however, Dennis was declared surplus to requirements and joined Hartlepool United on a trial in early 2013.

Knight then signed for Barnsley on a non- contract basis but after failing to make a senior appearance, left Oakwell in the close season. 

He later played in the Northern League for West Auckland, Newton Aycliffe, Jarrow Roofing and Newcastle Benfield.

This Fourth Round replay at the Old Showground was to be Newcastle's final visit to the venue. 

By the time they met again in 1993, The Iron had moved to Glanford Park on the outskirts of the town, while their former home had been demolished to build a supermarket.

PS: One of the linesman in this replay was a bearded twit called Trelford Mills....

1977 Gordon Lee announced he was leaving Newcastle to take up a lucrative contract as the manager of Everton. 

His decision was to prompt the sorry player power episode that eventually saw United slip down the league and into Division Two.

1979 Newcastle's FA Cup Fourth Round Replay against Wolves at Molineux was postponed due to the winter weather conditions. 

It was eventually played on February 22nd.

Victory over second tier Swindon put top-flight Newcastle into the Fifth Round of the FA Cup for a second successive season.

Two up at the interval, Neil McDonald hit his 58th minute spot kick wide of the target and was then reluctant to try again when a further penalty was awarded.

Gazza stepped up to scored his second of the game in front of watching England boss Bobby Robson, who said: "He's got the football world at his feet and a long and successful career ahead of him."

PS: Although nobody knew it at the time, this victory indirectly resulted in the mackems' promotion two years later. 

An FA enquiry into alleged betting by Town boss Lou Macari and Chairman Brian Hillier - who both backed Newcastle to win this game - spread to encompass all financial aspects of the Wiltshire club. 

Further irregularities came to light, and The Robins were refused entry to the First Division, despite just having beaten the mackems in a one-sided play-off final. 

For reasons never explained, the red and whites then took their place (but not for long...),

The Magpies returned to winning ways after a four game barren league run, seeing off a Villa side who began the say in second place.

Alan Shearer had gone 894 minutes without a league goal but quickly marked his new status of captain (standing in for the injured Rob Lee) by powering in a header from a Stephen Glass cross. 

The Georgian loon added a second from a pullback by the Scots winger before Al continued his one-man assault on the Villa defence; having a goal chalked off and thumping a header off the crossbar.

With Craig Bellamy allegedly mulling over an offer from Birmingham City (although Billy Smart's would have been more likely), Freddy Shepherd had a pop at our ex-Boss for his mismanagement of the troublesome Taff:

"I am very disappointed Sir Bobby Robson chose to make comments about the problems we have been experiencing.

"I have the greatest respect for him, but he has been in the game long enough to know he should have stayed silent on this matter.

"Graeme Souness has been unfairly blamed for what has happened in the past week. But the seeds of the Craig Bellamy situation were sown before he arrived.

"Sir Bobby had no business in commenting in the Bellamy affair last week and making allegations about what he thought had happened in the dressing room.

"Many of the problems Graeme is having to deal with are down to the way the previous manager handled matters of discipline.

"If Sir Bobby had taken a harder line, I am convinced we wouldn't be facing this situation."

2006 John Salako and Ian Rush drew the balls that handed Newcastle a Fifth Round FA Cup trip to Championship side Southampton - our third consecutive draw against lower league opposition.

2008 Two quality shots from midfielder Mark Doninger were the highlight of an expected 3-0 Northumberland Senior Cup success over North Shields at Ralph Gardner Park. 

In front of a watching Kevin Keegan, United were ahead at the interval thanks to winger Jonny Godsmark before Doninger's double.

United's Championship lead grew to four points but they missed the chance to pull further away from Nottingham Forest against the ten-man Foxes.

City's Ritchie Wellens received his second yellow card after half an hour but a reshaped United couldn't capitalise.

New recruits, Wayne Routledge, Mike Williamson and Patrick Van Aanholt started, while Fitz Hall was on the bench as Chris Hughton paraded his latest signings.

The home side meanwhile handed a debut to their new acquisition, Nolberto Solano in this Saturday teatime kick-off for live TV.

2012 Yohan Cabaye was charged with violent conduct following referee Lee Probert's review of TV footage of the Brighton FA Cup defeat.

The midfielder appeared to catch Seagulls defender Adam El-Abd in the face with his boot when the pair fell to the ground during the second half, although Probert played on.

Cabaye received a three game ban. 

2013 Perhaps it was a wise decision to play United's U21 game against Reading behind closed doors at Darsley Park - the Royals posting a 3-0 victory against a Magpies side who ended up with nine men after the dismissal of Jak Alnwick and Jamie Sterry.

New arrival Massadio Haidara was sighted for the first time and appeared in the left back slot. Academy striker Tom Heardman also made his debut at this level.

Callum Wilson's delightful double brought United an unexpected but deserved victory at Goodison Park - finally ending their winless run at the twelfth attempt.

In addition to the header and shot he put past Jordan Pickford, the striker twice hit the woodwork and side-footing narrowly wide.

Incoming coach Graeme Jones was credited with inspiring a fine team display, but Steve Bruce was quick to claim that the revival had begun some games beforehand.

When Jacob Murphy's effort went in off a home player the points looked secure, but Ollie Watkins reduced the arrears and then quickly had another chalked off as Unai Emery's side pressed strongly.
